Are you sure those gains are from Borla? I gained 10 wheel HP from the canned Diablo performance tune.

Where are you getting your dyno numbers?

Superchips states not to use long tube with the flashpaq. And I confirmed this with them on the phone a few months ago. If I could do it again I would have gone diablo

Looking at a set of gibsons b/c my d/s is leaking slightly. ( damn puddle jumping ). Heard about burnt wires and that concerned me. Ripps are awesome but hell, $$$$. Running superchips too. Im sure some slight gains can be had with shortys but minimal i assume.

Could you please post some photos of how the heat shields have been arranged in your case? I have posted some photos of my install here: https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/modi...9/#post3817324

The installation instructions were not clear on the placement of the heat shields so I had to spend quite some time on figuring out my own idea of a reasonable arrangement. I am not concerned about the driver side and the coil pack. However the heat shield under the battery pack looks a little small. Although it makes sense to me that the header tube, that is sandwiched by two other tubes and sitting right above the collector, must be the hottest.

Driver Side


Passenger Side
